[jens-maus]

This is release 20250207 of thinRoot with the following bugfixes and feature changes:

🚧 Changes:

_{For all changes, see the full commit log.}

• add hardware support for RaspberryPi5 and RaspberryPi4 as well as ASUS Tinkerboard.
• bump qutselect to latest 3.11 version fixing accidental horizontal resizing upon using 'Abort'.
• enable CONFIG_DRM_SIMPLEDRM to get framebuffer working again for the RaspberryPi builds.
• use default dtb in U-Boot for RaspberryPi3 rather than forcing to use Pi2 dtb
• update rpi-kernel to latest stable_20250127 (6.6.74)
• update upstream kernel to 6.12.12
• remove obsolete qt-webengine-kiosk.ini
• ignore any timestamp warnings/errors when unarchiving downloaded net files
• disable CONFIG_FB_SIMPLE and rely solely on a DRM framebuffer (but not rpi3)
• rework rcS and rcK to ensure that psplash is started before issuing further psplash-write commands. This should fix issues where the framebuffer device might not be ready upon the first start of psplash.
• disable udhcpc because we have dhcpcd installed already.
• renamed S49chrony to S49chronyd
• fix NTP server grep in chrony/NTP server startup
• set prefer and iburst to own specified NTP server
• disable urandom scripts because not required anymore.
• add missing extraargs kernel command-line check to fix tinkerboard EXTRAARGS bootEnv.txt pickup.
• change U-Boot prompt to ThinRoot
• replace V3D with PANFROST gallium for ASUS tinkerboard
• fix bootEnv.txt for rpi5
• enable vc4-kms-v3d dtoverlay for rpi5
• enable vc4-fkms-v3d dtoverlay for full performance
• add 0001-ARM-NEON-fix.patch webkitgtk patch to disable ARM_NEON support so that our tinkerboard builds start to build cleanly since ARM_NEON seems to be broken in webkitgtk-2.44.2
• re-add ASUS Tinkerboard image support.
• use other leds for Pi400
• add basic RaspberryPi5 platform support.
• enable basic RaspberryPi4 build environment support.
• update rpi-eeprom package to latest eeprom versions for rpi4 and rpi5
